Ipswich Quaker Meeting House

07/09/2026

Ipswich Quakers celebrated their 90 years of worshipping in the Friends Meeting House at 39 Fonnereau Road on Saturday with a bring and share lunch. It was opened by the Deputy Mayor, Cathy Frost, and attended by over 50 friends of Quakers including two councillors, Carole Jones and Julian Gibbs. Many of the attendees were from other faiths including Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Bahai and Unitarian and other Christian varieties! To honour the occasion, a book on Ipswich Quakers and their Meeting Houses was written by Barbar Richardson-Todd, who is Clerk to the Meeting. There was a great deal of chat, with old friendships renewed and new friendships formed. The oldest Quaker was Eric Walker who is still going strong in mind and body at nearly 102.

"To make a safe home for small children, to comfort one person in sorrow, to do one's work as efficiently as possible, to listen with understaning, to be gentle with the old and courteous to the young - these are the humble tasks to which most men and women are called." Quaker Faith and Practice 10:18
